"6 Things Eye Doctors Wish You'd Stop Doing at Your Eye Exams"

Here is my version. The numbered items are from the article, and I link to it below.

1. Not Bringing Your Glasses or Contact Lens Prescription

"Do you have your contact lenses?"

"No. My cat ate them."

"Your glasses then?"

"No. My cat ate them."

"Well, this exam will cost you a gajillion dollars."

"Can't pay."

"Why?"

"My cat also ate my wallet."

2. Skipping the Dilated Eye Exam (or Not Being Prepared for It)

Don't skip it. You never know what the doctor will find.

"Wow! I found a wrench in there!"

3. Not Disclosing a Health Condition

"Anything I should know?"

"I have hemorrhoids."

"Let me take a look at your brown eye, then."

4. Skimming Over Your Medications and Supplements

"What drugs do you take?"

"Shrooms."

"What?"

"Yes, I'm on shrooms right now. What big tusks you have, Mr. Walrus."

"I'm not a walrus. I'm the egg man!"

"Sorry. What big eggs you have, Mr. Eggman!"

5. Not Knowing Your Insurance Coverage Details

Apparently, this exam is only covered on Mondays and Sundays, if your height is less than 3 feet, and if your mother's maiden name was Krofkx. Otherwise, you go to jail and do not pass Go.

6. Putting Off Concerns Until Your Annual Eye Appointment

"Stop spraying me with a fire hose! Why are you doing this?"

"You complained about dry eye!"
